Comparison between the observed CBL height from aircraft vertical profile measurements and LIDAR observation. Comparison of the top of the convective boundary layer (CBL, zi), determined by aircraft (x-axis) and LIDAR (y-axis) observations. Aircraft vertical profiles were flown above the LIDAR, inside the city boundaries. The nine flights were performed on (mm/dd/yy): 08/14/13 (VP from 17:01 pm to 17:23 pm GMT), 07/11/13 (from 21:31 to 21:46), 02/24/14 (18:49 to 19:05), 06/12/14 (20:14 to 8:39), 06/15/14 (17:44 to 17:54), 06/17/14 (19:56 to 20:19), 07/25/14 (19:25 to 19:34), 11/10/14 (20:28 to 20:33) and 11/14/14 (20:04 to 20:18).
